There's a world of difference between knowing how to play the blues and knowing how to make the blues your own. For Australian guitarist and songwriter Sam Buckley, finding that distinction has been a lifelong pursuit, one built on countless hours of practice, an appreciation for the genre's history and a determination to discover his own musical voice. Growing up on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, Buckley's earliest experiences with music came from playing alongside

There's something strangely beautiful about the idea of falling in love while the world is falling apart. For Colleen, that contradiction sits at the heart of Driving at Midnight, an EP that explores love, longing and the complicated business of figuring out where we belong. Across five tracks, she takes us through the emotional landscape of changing relationships, difficult decisions and the distance that can grow between the people we love.

Some bands spend years carefully assembling their lineup, developing their sound and planning their first performance. Cosmic Cowboy and The Incognitos took a slightly different approach. What began as a one-off live performance for Brisbane songwriter Greg Eales' solo EP launch in November 2024 somehow evolved into a fully functioning band, complete with a growing collection of gigs, a wonderfully eccentric cast of musicians and a frontman dressed in an op-shop Elvis-inspire

There's something wonderfully defiant about a band that still believes an album should be experienced from beginning to end. For Vonnyguts, music isn't simply a collection of songs competing for attention. It's a living, breathing exchange of ideas, shaped by friendship, human imperfections and a healthy appreciation for the absurdity of existence. Emerging from the end of Orph, the band has developed a sound that moves between garage rock, alternative textures and melodic po
